Couldn't be happier asking Crystal to do hair and makeup for our wedding! She listened to what my…read morehusband and I wanted, and did makeup and hair for both of us. We liked the overall look; it was exactly what we wanted. She arrived at 5:30am since we wanted to be ready by 8, and was super friendly and energetic, despite the early start. She was also flexible and was able to do my mother's makeup as a last minute request. She gave me a little sample of the lip product, after I mentioned that I looked for it, but it was sold out. It was a very kind gesture to help make our day a little smoother.

Crystal did a fantastic job on my wedding makeup! I don't normally wear makeup (I had not worn…read moremakeup once in the 3+ years that I had been with my fiance), so at first, I was a little concerned about looking like "someone else" on my wedding day. I did a makeup trial for our engagement photo session a few months before the wedding, and Crystal created a natural look that accentuated my best features. Crystal was able to replicate the same look for the wedding. I received many compliments on my makeup in the engagement photos and on my wedding day. Thank you, Crystal! In addition to being a top-notch makeup artist, Crystal was a pleasure to work with -- she was responsive to emails and flexible with scheduling (about a week before the wedding, I realized that it would be better if she could start at 9 am on our wedding day instead of the previously agreed upon 10:30 am, and she was able to accommodate the change). Also, Crystal's good taste in music may not seem particularly relevant in this situation, but the music she streamed during the trial and wedding makeup sessions helped create a cheerful and celebratory mood, which helped me relax. I am hoping that one of my friends will get engaged soon SO that I could recommend Crystal. :)

We cannot recommend Violet highly enough for wedding hair and makeup! She was our artist for our…read moreOctober 2025 wedding at Solage in Napa, and she did an incredible job. Violet created two very different looks for me--one for our Friday welcome party and one for the wedding day--and she nailed both of them perfectly. Everything held up beautifully all night, through photos and hours of dancing! Beyond her talent, she was just a lovely and calming presence to have around. She was amazing with my family as well, making everyone feel comfortable and look their best. She was also so flexible and accommodating with several last-minute changes to our schedule, which we appreciated so much. We couldn't have been happier!

I hired Violet for my wedding hair and makeup years ago, and unfortunately did not have a good…read moreexperience. She did an amazing trial and I was so excited. The day of my wedding, she had extremely poor planning and time management, and decided it was smart to start me, the bride, last. That resulted in me literally being late, with her rushing to finish. The end result was a mess, it was awful. When I texted her photos afterwards politely expressing my disappointment (with trial and wedding photos attached), she did not offer to refund me but instead offered to redo my hair and makeup again for wedding photo retakes - strange, as how I clearly could not retake photos from that day and had no plans to pay tons of money for another post-wedding photo shoot?? Would have preferred my money back. Or better planning to begin with.

Jessie Hoang was absolutely incredible to work with for my wedding. From the very beginning, her…read morecommunication was clear, warm, and professional, and she made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jessie works quickly while still being incredibly detail-oriented, and she has an amazing ability to understand exactly how you want your makeup to look and then bring that vision to life flawlessly. Also my hair and make up lasted all day plus survived misty rain and a heavy veil! Her team was also exceptional and highly skilled, and everyone helped create such a calm and enjoyable getting-ready experience on the wedding day. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely taken care of in her hands. I highly recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a talented, intuitive, and truly wonderful makeup artist!

I was preparing to tell her how I wanted to change the trial makeup to something more pink, but that morning, Jessie brought up the idea of changes to me first! She suggested a pink look would look better and I was impressed because I felt the same way. I appreciated that Jessie spoke out about what she thought would look better on me; I felt like she had my back! In total, we had 11 people who needed both hair and makeup. I was worried that it would take a very long time, but Jessie and her two assistants run like a well-oiled machine! Started at 8am, done by 1230pm! All my girls looked beautiful!! The makeup lasted all day! Jessie even gave me a little pouch of materials for touch up, but I didn't need it! My hair also stayed in place all night long! She even taught my bridesmaids how to help put on and remove my veil without messing up my hair or the flowers in it! She knew how to solve any and all makeup/hair issues with no problem; it was obvious that she's very knowledgeable and experienced. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event!

When I came in, I was a little unsure about which color to go for since it had been a long time since I last colored my hair. I was torn between going for a brown or a bronde shade, I wanted something that would brighten my overall look and bring more light to my face. Jira listened carefully to what I wanted, offered her honest suggestions, and helped me choose the perfect shade that would complement my skin tone and style. She did highlights and balayage on my hair, and the result was absolutely stunning. I love how natural and dimensional the color looks. it completely transformed my hair while still maintaining a soft, effortless look. The blend of tones is beautiful, and it truly enhanced my overall appearance. What stood out the most was Jira's attention to detail and how much care she put into the entire process. She took her time to make sure everything was done perfectly, and it really shows in the final result. The pricing was very reasonable and completely worth it, especially given the quality of her work and the amount of time she dedicated to achieving the look I wanted. Jira genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy with the outcome. She is kind, professional, and truly talented. The other staff members at the salon are also very welcoming and helpful, which makes the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. I can't recommend Jira enough,she's simply the best! -Sagarika

The two I got in Long Beach were honestly the worst haircuts of my life and I had to take scissors into my own hands to fix them. Seriously, with all of the salons in the world, why is it so hard to get a good haircut? But no longer. I have found Gwyneth!!! My hair is happy once again!! All drama aside, it's been years since I've had a good haircut (see my reviews). The biggest problem is that no one listened to what I wanted in a cut. Instead, they gave me the cookie cutter haircut they wanted to give me. Not Gwyneth. She listened and did exactly what I asked. Look at the picture. My hair is gorgeous! If you're frustrated by hair stylists that only know how to give whatever cut is trending, forget about the others and head over to Gwyneth.

They are so gentle and inform you of the process every step of the way. You can easily book with them on their website. Their location in San Mateo is easy to find and has an ample amount of street parking. Inside their rooms, it is very peaceful and relaxing. Some of the services I have tried from them have been - nano-infusion, derma planning, peels, back facials, regular custom facials and most recently a hydraderm facial, which was great! I've always had problem skin and it's honestly never looked better. I've even gotten compliments for the first time in years. As an added bonus, they have a stamp card so you can receive a service for 25% on your 6th visit. Thank you so much, Kristen & Kristen!!

I hired Kary as my HMU for my wedding in April 2026. She was a total professional and really…read morepassionate in what she does. I was really happy with my looks throughout the event and Kary was attentive throughout, really glad to have hired her. During the makeup trial she listened to my needs and took times to try multiple styles and looks until I'm comfortable with my choices. Her makeup style is very beautiful and natural at the same time, she has a great understand of Asian features. I felt very beautiful. During the event she stayed around for almost the whole ceremony to reception, helping with touch ups and outfit/look changes. She was also great with my mother and bridesmaids, patient and giving styling support when my mom had questions. However I think there's room for improvement in her team. The second HMU she brought with her to help with the other half of my bridesmaids was not as good. My bridesmaid mentioned that her side bun constantly fell out and after asking to be fixed multiple time they just ended up fixing it themselves. The second HMU also didn't seem to have the same joy as Kary and wasn't too friendly. Outside of that, Kary's husband Eugene does all her booking, scheduling and communications. Have some patience for him to get back to you and double check the booking times as I experienced some mixed up during the trial booking. Overall I would definitely recommend working with Kary for your makeup, you will not regret it, she really took good care of me.

Getting into contact with Eugene was easy, and they were fully transparent about prices and packages from the get go, which I was grateful for. We had a very large group (10 ladies) getting ready the morning of, and she and her assistant did absolutely wonderful for everyone's hair and makeup!! Some of my girls hardly wear any makeup, so they had no reference to work with, but Kary and her assistant made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. I'm so grateful that she was so attentive, making sure that nothing feels uncomfortable on our hair or on our faces, and I'm especially grateful that her package included touch ups at the venue itself. I feel like most other makeup artists will do your hair and makeup the morning of, and you just hope that it'll last the whole day. I even asked to do a hair change for my tea ceremony, and Kary did it without hesitation and killed it. My mom especially loved the updo! She even included hair pieces that went beautifully with the vibe of the dress/venue, and I cannot recommend her enough.
